Front hand brake cable, where to get one?

Post by **fergus77** » 22 May 2008, 11:55

Can anybody point me in the direction of where to get a front hand brake cable from, the one from the hand brake lever back to the balance bar? Tried GSF and they've no stock and can't get any more. The only other alternative is a genuine VW part but at £20 is a bit steep.

Any ideas peeps?

on massive budget as usual and GSF part retailed at £7.50!!

So big differance between that and £21

cheap at £21 when you cant get the cheaper alternative.thats how i look at it.and parts for the t25 are going to get dearer as vw dont make them any more.

There's supposed to be a cable? When I checked mine out the other week there just seemed to be a steel rod... better look again!

it is a steel rod threaded one third of its length, and unfortunaetly the fuel tank has to be dropped to enable the rod to be secured to underneath of the van.abd pushed through the aperture to locate onto the handbrake leaver clevis pin. Have fun its a learning curve fitting a new brake rod
